What do homeowners ask about Outlets & Switches?
How much does it cost to add an outlet in San Diego?
Adding an outlet to an existing circuit runs $185 to $325 for most locations. Adding a new dedicated circuit (kitchen appliance, garage tool, bathroom) runs $475 to $850 depending on the panel-to-outlet distance and whether walls are accessible from above or below. Flat-rate quote before we start work.
Why does my GFCI keep tripping?
Three usual causes: a real ground fault on the circuit (something downstream is leaking current), a worn-out GFCI past its 7–10 year lifespan, or the wrong wiring at install (line and load reversed). We diagnose and fix in one visit on most jobs.
Can you install smart switches?
Yes. We install Lutron Caseta, Leviton Decora Smart, Kasa, and any UL-listed smart switch. Most need a neutral wire in the box (older homes sometimes don't have one), which we'll check before quoting.
Do you install USB outlets?
Yes — both USB-A and USB-C combination outlets, in any room. Most installs are a direct swap-out of the existing outlet and finish in 20 minutes.
Can you upgrade two-prong outlets to three-prong?
Yes, with a real grounding solution: either pulling a ground from the panel, or installing a GFCI outlet labeled 'No Equipment Ground' which is code-compliant for two-wire circuits. We pick the right approach per outlet — not a one-size-fits-all answer.
